| RNC: Ron Silver Speaks

Actor Ron Silver took a little dig at his fellow entertainers with this line:

Even though I am a well-recognized liberal on many issues confronting our society today, I find it ironic that many human rights advocates and outspoken members of my own entertainment community are often on the front lines to protest repression, for which I applaud them but they are usually the first ones to oppose any use of force to take care of these horrors that they catalogue repeatedly.

This is disconcerting. Ron Silver always plays the rabid left-winger on Law & Order. Most of the time he’s a law professor.

Is this some sort of trick? He’s a Republican? ARRRGGGGHHHH.

Who is Ron Silver ?

My understanding is that he is a liberal who gets it.

I wonder when his next acting job will be. When he is blacklisted, will Sean Penn and Tim Robins say a word?
